What is an Off-Line Search
in NCIC
On-line Requests for Off-line Searches
These queries include special request inquiry, also known as
Global Inquiry or SPRQ, which can be initiated by a CTA to
obtain information that cannot be retrieved through a normal
inquiry. SPRQ transactions can be made against:
1. Active Records
2. Retired Records
3. Message Logs
The following slides translate this into our language.
NCIC Off-Line search via
email- The Objective
Hi ,
Please perform an offline search to see if any ORI queried the
following gun serial number in 2007, any activity on the serial
number would be appreciated.

It will probably be entered soon as stolen by an Oxford,
Mississippi law enforcement agency.
Thanks, Paul
